County Overview
Nicholasville, Wilmore, and Everything In Between
Nicholasville is the county seat and the largest city in Jessamine County — and one of the fastest-growing communities in Central Kentucky. With a population of roughly 55,000 across the county, it directly borders Fayette County (Lexington), making it one of the most popular "bedroom communities" in the region.
But Jessamine County is more than a commuter suburb. Wilmore, home of Asbury University and Asbury Theological Seminary, has its own distinct culture. Camp Nelson National Monument straddles the Jessamine-Garrard county line. The county has a mix of newer subdivisions, established neighborhoods, horse farms, and rural acreage.
Nicholasville has strong schools, retail, and medical facilities. For buyers who want Lexington access without Lexington taxes and traffic, Jessamine County is the obvious choice.
